After a Quiet Stretch, Brookfield Theatre Returns With Amélie

Brookfield Theatre for the Arts is between productions right now. Dracula, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy, Really closed on October 10, and the stage stays dark through the rest of October and the first half of November.

The wait ends with Amélie, the musical based on the beloved film about a young woman in Paris who quietly sets out to improve the lives of the people around her. The show runs November 13 through December 5, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. A senior citizen preview is set for Thursday, November 12, at 8 p.m.

Reserved seating is $35 for adults, $30 for seniors, and $25 for students. The theatre's auditions for The Drowsy Chaperone follow on November 22 and 23, the company's next production after Amélie.

After Amélie closes, the theatre's calendar keeps going: a Lunar A Cappella Holiday Concert is scheduled for Saturday, December 19. Tickets and details for all three are on the theatre's website.

For a town that fills the theatre night after night, the gap is a good moment to plan: Amélie tickets for the opening weekend tend to go first, and the senior preview is the one performance priced for the daytime crowd.
